I knew I'd seen another cool Aperol recipe lately, and just tracked it down-- a creation of the brilliant Gary Regan. The Interesting Cocktail Created by Gary Regan, 2007. 2 ounces Don...
I'm an Aperol fan, and first had it at the home of American friends in Germany, where .5 oz or so in a glass of prosecco was quite trendy. I love that, and have introduced lots of folks to...

"Thank you so much for your comments about your wine migraines and the wine sleuthing that you have done - I have the same problem, and have reached the identical conclusion, for which I get derided.

I'm surprised to see positive reviews. I found this to be flabby and dull-- almost "cooked." A commercial comment above mentioned acidity-- I didn't detect any! I don't...
